notjustOk Hype will feature (or may be not) the future heavy hitters
in naija music. Any material featured in this category will be from
unsigned or up and coming Nigerian/African, artists/rappers that
contain nothing but promising content. There will only be a post a
month in this category.

If you have or know of anyones music that you feel is a hit or any good, please send an email to notjustokmusic with a link to their page or where I can download the song. ***If you can email me the song, please be sure to zip it first before sending it as an attachment***

Mola posted this song sometime in December but the audio quality was not that great. The song is good enough to be re-posted, regardless. Ice Prince's wordplay is murderous!!! It gets better. He clicks with M.I. and Jesse Jagz (Jagz produced this). Perfect first single, in my opinion. What's yours?

Any talk of beef between K-Solo and Klever Jay has been put to bed with this one. I'm guessing an album is on the way for K-Solo. Himself, alongside Terry G, are arguably the best producers of this specific dance music genre. Can he make an impact of his own?

Sazzy, based in Sheffield, England, is primarily a producer/beatmaker. As is the norm today, he decided to try his hands on singing as well. There's an element of Kanye-slash-Femi Kuti on this tune. Listen closely; the storyline's fun. Your thoughts...

For those wondering whether Paul I.K. Dairo has plans to drop a new LP, the answer is YES! This is another one off his forth-coming 2009 album. The song was leaked towards the end of last year under the title "If I Don't Have You", but it is now being "officially" promoted as a 2009 single under this new title. Is he still too good for the newer cats? I love his music regardless.

Full yoruba song and a good listen at that. Honestly, I need a translator for most of his lyrics. Oluwe is using a whole lot of metaphors on this song, there has to be a deeper meaning to the buying Moi Moi part of the song.

Born in Festac Town, raised in Benin and Akoka, Zilla now resides in New York. I like the ease with which he drops his lines; very laid-back. He also did well with the instrumentals. The song is quite short, but I'm guessing its incomplete. What do you think?
